I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2024
Interview
Technical screen then virtual onsite with coding, system design, behavior interview.
All of the interviewers were great to speak with. The recruiter was very unpleasant. He not only missed chats with me that he scheduled due to in his words "working with multiple time zones is hard," but also told me wrong information about my interviews. Such as wrong name, or wrong type of interview, or wrong times.
Stop using outsourced recruiters from other companies. They definitely do not pass the Microsoft bar. They are very incompetent.

Interview
I had a call with a recruiter who mentioned that the hiring manager would like to speak with me before moving on to the next stages of the process. A few days later, I had a conversation with the hiring manager.
He started by asking me where I studied, but before I could finish my response, he interrupted and moved on to questions about my experience. As I began answering, he cut me off again to ask about the latest project I worked on, and then quickly shifted to a system design question. Whenever I asked clarifying questions to better understand the system requirements, he wasn’t able to provide clear instructions or details about what he expected me to design.
During the call, I found his communication style somewhat unclear at times, which made parts of the discussion difficult to follow. The interview also felt a bit rushed. I believe clearer guidance and a stronger sense of ownership over the process would have significantly improved the experience.
